Advaita Vedanta is one of the most exquisite

and influential schools of philosophy in the Hindu tradition.

The word “Advaita” means “non-duality”,

and Vedanta means “the end of the Veda”,

referring to the ultimate teachings of the Upanishads.

The Essence of Advaita Vedanta,

Non-duality holds that:

There is only one absolute reality – Brahman, which is unlimited, pure consciousness (cit), pure existence (sat), and nondual bliss (ananda).

The phenomenal world is an illusion (maya), unreal in itself, being only a temporary projection of the mind and perception.

The Atman (the individual Self) is no different from Brahman.

Basic Mahavakia:

Tat tvam like this” –

You are the One (Brahman)”

(Chāndogya Upaniṣad 6.8.7)

The Great Masters of Advaita Vedānta:

 

🪬Śaṅkara (Adi Śaṅkarācārya) – the classical systematizer of the school;

he wrote essential commentaries on the Upaniṣade, the Bhagavad Gītā, and the Brahma Sutra.

🪬Gaudapāda – teacher of Govindapāda (master of Shankara),

author Maṇḍukya Karika, in which he states that the world is an illusion

and only consciousness remains.

Key principles:

🏵Brahman is real (satyam)”

🏵The world is illusory (mithya)”.

🏵The Atman is identical with Brahman.”

This perspective is based on:

Neti neti (“not this, not this”) – the method of rejecting all misidentifications in order to reach the ultimate reality.

Viveka – the discernment between the real and the unreal.

Vairagya – detachment from what is fleeting.

Śravaṇa, Manana, Nididhyāsana – listening to the teachings, reflecting on them and deep meditation for direct realization.

The final experience:

When the illusion disappears through jnana (direct knowledge), only Brahman remains.

There is no longer a duality between subject and object, knowing and known.

This realization is called mokṣa – liberation

from the cycle of birth and death (saṃsāra),

by knowing the identity between the Self and the Absolute.

Acharya Leonard Radutz
